Walltown believes in meeting the community where it lives—outside our theater walls and in the heart of Durham and beyond. Participating in local festivals, parades, cultural celebrations, and competitions is our way of giving back, lifting up the arts, and showing our students that their talent has the power to connect, inspire, and serve.
These events allow our young artists to perform with purpose, represent the values of inclusivity and excellence, and take pride in being part of something bigger. Whether on a city stage or a competition floor, we show up with joy, heart, and artistry.
